Bodexpress has been retired from racing and will enter stud for the 2021 season at Barton Thoroughbreds in Santa Ynez, Calif., for $5,000 LFSN.

The 5-year-old Grade 1 winning son of Bodemeister out of a City Zip mare retires with lifetime earnings of near $700,000. This includes his notable victory in the Grade 1 Clark in November 2020 defeating Code of Honor, as well as his second to Maximum Security in the G1 Florida Derby in 2019.

Bodemeister has also sired Always Dreaming, the winner of the 2017 Kentucky Derby, and both Always Dreaming and Bodexpress have shown that they were able to carry their front-running speed over a distance of ground.

Barton Thoroughbreds is pleased to add a stallion to their roster of this caliber and looks forward to supporting him with mares. Bodexpress is available for inspection at the farm.

Bodexpress (Bodemeister–Pied a Terre, by City Zip) will begin his stud career next month at Barton Thoroughbreds in Santa Ynez, California. The 5-year-old won the GI Clark S. in the final race of his career last November at Churchill Downs. He was also second in the 2019 GI Xpressbet Florida Derby and third in the 2020 GIII Hal's Hope S. and 2019 GIII Harlan's Holiday S. On the board in 11 of 17 starts, he retired with four wins and earnings of $694,600.

Bodexpress will stand the 2021 season for $5,000 LFSN.

Julio Rada of Platinum Bloodstock brokered the deal and was critical in the securing of the new stallion for Barton Thoroughbreds.
